Real Need Software is one of the UK's leading
providers of human resource assessment software. Since 1995,
we have provided assessment systems for some of the UK's principal
test distributors and HR assessment consultancies.
With our skills and experience in both psychometric assessment
and software development, we are able to respond rapidly to
our clients' requirements and are able to advise on technical,
psychometric and design aspects of software development projects.

In addition to our considerable experience
in questionnaire and test administration software, we have
particular skills in narrative report creation, either for
on-line or pc-based systems. Our experience in this area goes
back some fifteen years and we have either developed or contributed
to a substantial number of narrative reporting systems which
have been in use in the UK, European and US markets over this
period.

We have developed both pc-based and internet-based
testing systems and have recently developed a series of ground-breaking
on-line tests for one of our clients using Macromedia Flash,
in order to provide a richly graphical and non-threatening
assessment interface for the test-taker.

Our experience is not just limited to standard
test and questionnaire systems. On behalf of our clients,
we have developed both pc-based and web-based systems for
360 degree appraisal. These systems enable HR managers to
set up their own customised competency models, design questionnaires,
notify appraisers and appraisees as required, collect appraisal
data, analyse appraisal data and generate comprehensive graphical
and narrative reports.

In addition to our work in the Human Resources
area, we have also undertaken major database system-development
projects for other clients, including data-tracking, equipment-tracking,
bar-coding, organisational membership and office administration
projects.
